Murder of Crows

The crows saw it all: who died, who did it, where it happened…even how it was done. Your job is to use the cards in your hand to piece together the facts and reveal the dastardly deed. Spell MURDER, and you’ve won! But beware, your opponents’ goal is the same. Steal their cards, counter their actions, or throw their investigation into disarray with a Wild Crow before they do it to you! At any moment, a well played card can shift the balance and seal someone’s fate.

When a player wins by spelling MURDER, those cards’ flavor text combines to tell the homicide’s tale. Every murder has a story… “A cool breeze danced in a grove of weeping willows when Scarlet Moonbeam with a burning vengeance used chopsticks to impale Heidi Harmony.”

The second edition includes The Murdered Third, an optional two-player variant. Players will draw for a “murdered” third player and apply the negative effects of that card. You can read more about the differences between this edition and the 2012 first edition at the Atlas Games website.
